We’re thrilled to remotely welcome Tom Pickett, our first Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), to DoorDash! Tom will be joining the company’s Management Team and will oversee the merchant organization and lead our efforts and strategy around our merchant partners.
As DoorDash expands into different products and geographies, we couldn’t be more excited to bring on a dedicated leader to help shepherd the next wave of strategy, accountability, and alignment across our merchant operations and be the voice of our merchant partners on our management team.
Joining during unprecedented times, Tom has been intimately involved in helping to shape DoorDash’s response to support local restaurants in the age of sheltering in place. As regions across the country begin to transition, he will continue to advance DoorDash’s mission of empowering local communities by driving programs that support the growth of restaurants big and small.
Before joining us, Tom spent five and a half years as the CEO of Ellation, a leading global direct-to-consumer digital media company with several fan-focused video services, including Crunchyroll, VRV, and Rooster Teeth. Ellation was acquired by AT&T in 2018 and now is a WarnerMedia company.
Earlier in his career, he spent over 10 years at Google serving across various roles of increasing responsibility, and ultimately served as Vice President of Content and Operations at YouTube where he was a key member of the YouTube executive leadership team.
Tom is a proven leader with the ability to connect the dots between where DoorDash is now, where we want to be, and how we will get there. He’s shown a capacity to lead by fostering inclusion and demonstrating a passion to develop every individual to do the best work of their careers.
